The primary league that
Bournemouth AC enters is the Dorset Road Running League which takes
place throughout the whole year. In addition there are many other local,
national and international races in which the members participate,
including marathons.
To improve your fitness, train for
a specific distance or set those PBs rolling, then training with the
distance runners at Bournemouth AC could help you achieve those goals.
We have a mixture of abilities, junior, senior and veteran runners to
guide and encourage athletes along the way.
There is a special membership fee
of £25 which covers road running and cross-country.
Training with the club is
completely free of charge (a small fee applies when using the track) and
we meet at Kings Park Athletic Stadium, Bournemouth.
Training times are as follows:
Tuesdays 6pm - Usually and
efforts/intervals session
Thursdays 6pm - Usually a hills session or tempo run
Other training runs take place
starting at locations other than Kings Park - normally Wednesday (6.30
pm) and Saturday (9 am) from the Littledown Centre for 7 or 10 mile
runs, and a long run over the Purbecks on Sunday mornings, catching
the 9 am ferry from Sandbanks. Further details of these runs can be
obtained on a Tuesday or Thursday evening at Kings Park.
